Yeah. (-:
Despite the confusion it entails, there are a lot of long-term benefits to
having several disparate approaches and some decentralisation. Willing
co-operation between the `outliers' so that (for example) PLF and Texstar
RPMs are always interoperable would be nice, though.
The PLF page with all of the natty URPMI stuff is here, IMHO Mandrake should
have something similar for their own stuff:
